In a well-developed essay that includes an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion, explain whether the United States should enact a compulsory voting law or let voting remain optional. Be sure to address counterclaims in your essay and include reasons and evidence to support your argument.

Edit: Or main points I can right about disagreeing or agreeing with the question.

The idea you could expand is that it should remain optional. Arguments for it could be that because of the electoral system in which the winner takes all, making voting mandatory would not change much during the elections since the popular vote has throughout history had the advantage over the electoral votes, but in the end the electoral votes won the presidency.
